For unique tiles made from natural lava stone from the base of Mount. Etna, take a peek at the amazing wall and floor tiles by Made a Mano!

This raw earth, clay flooring is an innovative flooring solution that uses a common pavement design combined with natural copper. The lines are not continuous and uniform as you would expect from a standard pavement and there is a fluidity to the design made apparent by the copper and raw material's ability to naturally change beautifully over time.
Raw earth as a material has been used for centuries and has a multitude of benefits and interesting properties. Discover more about Matteo Brioni and the amazing properties for raw earth surfaces.
